Old growth trees cut down in the Caycuse Valley
Ancient Forest Alliance executive director Ken Wu, next to some old growth Douglas fir trees that were cut down in June and July of this year, in the Caycuse Valley south of Cowichan Lake and north of the Walbran Valley. The Alliance is trying to prevent this from happening again, in their hopes of preserving Vancouver Island’s few vital old growth forests yet to be clear-cut.
The local environment has been dealt a blow in the past few months, thanks to the logging of old growth forest in the Caycuse Valley.
“There’s only a few specks of this old growth left in the interior,” Ancient Forest Alliance executive director Ken Wu said. “We’d like to see the last of the old growth saved.”
West of Cowichan Lake and north of the Walbran Valley, an old growth stand of Douglas fir was clear-cut in June and July of this year, as a result of Teal Jones Group operations.
The Ancient Forest Alliance managed to get there in late June; far too late to prevent the logging from taking place.
The old growth forest that was logged was conveniently located in an unprotected tract of old growth, surrounded by the protected Ungulate Wintering Range and an Old Growth Management Area.
The Ungulate Wintering Range was designated by the Ministry of Forests to sustain black-tailed deer populations, while the Old Growth Management Area prohibits logging.
“Unfortunately, an important chunk of the old-growth Douglas firs were left out of protection and have now been clear-cut,” an Ancient forest Alliance press release reads.
“There’s almost none left,” Wu said, of the Caycuse Valley.
“We’re not saying don’t log, just don’t log the old growth.”
There’s still some unprotected old growth forest land in the Caycuse Valley that has the potential to see logging activity, unless the government steps in.
“If it’s not in a park, Ungulate Wintering Range, or Old Growth Management Area, it’ll become a sea of stumps,” Wu said.
The logging of the old growth Douglas fir will have a negative impact on various animal populations, Wu said, as it serves to provide deer with excellent wintering habitat, which includes the lichens they eat.
“At least 87 per cent of the productive old-growth forests on Vancouver Island south of Port Alberni and Barkely Sound have already been logged,” the press release reads.
